Marines on ground in Libya :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [vs-1]: "WCTI-TV in New Bern reports those Marines, assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) at Camp Lejuene, are 'preserving the sanctity of the city [of Ajdubiyah] and the safety of the civilians within it.'

Capt. Timothy Patrick with the 26th MEU told the station: 'In Libya right now they are doing exactly what we need them to do. They are doing what they are told, and right now that's protecting Libyan people against Qadhafi forces.'

Evidently the Marines' efforts are being successful. The commanding officer of the 26th MEU, Col. Mark Desens, says that following a second round of strikes by AV-8B Harrier jets, the Libyan dictator's forces 'are now less capable of threatening the town than before.'"
